The IEEE Board of Directors formed an ad hoc committee on climate change in February to coordinate its response to the global threat. Rahman is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech. Why should IEEE be involved in combating climate change? Why should members care about climate change?

However, achieving either goal would likely require governments offering hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in EV subsidies to ICE owners over the next decade, not to mention significant investments in EV charging infrastructure and the electrical grid. billion to more than 2 billion.

Simple, effective solutions that can help lessen the impact of climate change already exist. That’s according to 2023 IEEE President Saifur Rahman , who was among the speakers from engineering organizations at the COP27 event held in Egypt in November. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.

Thousands of Washington insiders and climate activists have had a hand in these legislative breakthroughs. Among the most articulate and almost certainly the wonkiest is Jesse Jenkins , a professor of engineering at Princeton University, where he heads the ZERO Lab—the Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization Laboratory, that is.

The IEA said that this reflects the continued domination of fossil fuels—particularly coal—in the energy mix and the slow uptake of other, lower-carbon supply technologies. Smart grids, for example, make it easier and cheaper to replace fossil-fired power with renewables without jeopardizing the reliability of the energy system.

System-level implications include the decarbonization of the grid and the addition of additional generation capacity. However, predicting the need for additional capacity over the long term (until 2050 and beyond) is far less certain and will depend on the future grid mix and the degree of interaction with other sectors.

Before we start, I want to tell you that you can get the latest coverage from some of Spectrum ‘s most important beats, including AI, climate change, and robotics, by signing up for one of our free newsletters. I think maybe because the cover was a car perched at the top of a giant mountain of coal. Cass: Yeah.
